Tzatziki again

1 big cucumber or 3 small Persian cucumbers, finely chopped or grated
2 cups Greek/drained yogurt
2-3 cloves garlic, mortar-and-pestled with a little salt
2 tbsp chopped mint
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

Salt the cucumber, let it sit, rinse and drain on paper towels. Combine everything.

Sleek

2 bundles pak choi (or other greens)
1 cup black eyed peas (or other beans)
1 cup bulgur wheat, couscous, or quinoa, cooked (so, less than that raw - whatever makes 1 cup cooked)
1 large onion, sliced
4 tbsp olive oil

Caramelize the onion on low heat for a while, like 15 or 20 minutes. Boil the pak choi for a few minutes. Cook the bulgur. Combine everything, add salt and pepper. I substituted everything except the onion and it was still great.
